Between The Covers

Welcome to Between the Covers Book Club!

We are a small book club that is all about the Booktok world! Our main choice of books are the dark romance, but we will also have a choice of other genres too!

We will try to meet twice a month. One week will be to pick the book we will be reading. The following weeks will be to discuss all of have read this far. We will continue to discuss until we have completed the book. We will try to do at least one book a month however we all know that life gets in the way and that may not be possible.

We will switch where we meet every time. One week it will beat my house, the next it will be at someone else's. We do not have to, but I feel that it would be nice to have small refreshments during our meetings.

I hope that you will enjoy your time and enjoy the new friendships that are made during this! I cannot wait to spend time with you!

Love Always,

Victoria

Recommend book

Alexandra Moody's YA ice hockey rom-com—the first of the BookTok sensation Darling Devils series—will warm your heart!

She has a (fake) date with a Devil . . .

When Violet is left heartbroken by the captain of her school’s ice hockey team, she vows never to date a jock again. But to prove she’s moved on, she turns to the most unlikely person: her ex’s biggest rival, the notorious captain of the Ransom Devils.

Reed Darling is gorgeous, mysterious, and intimidating—the only thing people love to talk about more than his hockey skills are his exploits as a ruthless heartbreaker and bad boy. Who better to serve as Violet’s fake boyfriend until her ex gets the message, right?

But Violet soon starts to wonder if there’s more to Reed than the gossip suggests. And Reed is determined to win her over and show her he’s not the guy everyone thinks he is. Is this jock about to break all her rules?

7/10 stars

Cute read, no spice which was fine. This read more like a true YA novel to me, (also, the characters are in high school still). For that reason 6.5 to 7 out of 10 rating. Cute story for YA / middle school even. Violet did get on my nerves but then again, she’s in high school so… okay, communication skills are still being developed. Threw me off with the figure skating, lol. I felt like Reed’s little sister!! WTH are you doing!! lol but nice and cute quick read.

I love Alexandra Moody so I already know this book was going to be good. But still, I did not realise how much I was going to enjoy this book. The tension and chemistry between the two main leads was great and her friendships with all of the darling devils were so fun!
